What is SEO?

When you ask some people, “What is SEO?”, they say, “Oh, that’s Search Engine Optimization.”

OK, but what does that actually mean?

There are many ways to explain it, and some are really not much help. Some people may even think that I have some sort of ‘magic wand’ that I wave over a website and – poof! It’s number one on Google!

I ran across this great little video that explains SEO basics in about three minutes. It’s simple – yet covers all the fundamentals. Watch Video Here

The video was put together by Search Engine Land, a leading daily publication that covers all aspects of the search marketing industry.

I think this video shows enough that most will understand now – when it comes to SEO and getting good rankings in Google, there are no magic wands, just hard work.

    I have been a loyal customer to Profit Gate since 2006. The personal attention and support they have given us is great! They have helped us with a very affordable search optimization program. Profit Gate created a pay per click program as well as natural rankings that have given us first page rankings on Google. For our industry specific products like fasteners for the metal roofing and building industry, this has been very productive. In addition to many US clients we have developed we are now shipping these products to most of the islands in the Caribbean and Canada. This is all due to the search optimization Profit Gate has done for us. I would highly recommend them to any business that is looking to grow and gain visibility for their products!

    I really felt confident that Profit Gate could design the website I needed to help drive new business. As I saw the website progressing, I was blown away at how nice it was. Since the completion, we have received very positive customer feedback as well as an influx of new customers. I am very happy with the website and the job done by Profit Gate technical personnel.

    We just want to tell you that we got our first lead from the new website yesterday! They have inquired about a new pool with outdoor kitchen and fireplace. Thank you again! This new website is exactly what we needed!

    Although my website looked decent before, Profit Gate has definitely made our company look much better! Their professional staff captured exactly what I wanted and brought it to life. Best of all, the fee for doing this was considerably less that I’d expect for such high quality work.

    Your knowledgeable and courteous personnel suggested ways to draw customers to the new web site. Profit Gate provides a professional design, web support as needed, and we have found they are “tweaking” the content continuously. We appreciate the time you have spent putting the Web Site together. We have had a crazy summer and I would not have had the time to work on any design and, even if I had, it would not look professional. Thank you,

    With a web site like ours, that is not the more common type of information, Profit Gate did a great job and was very patient when dealing with our technical aspects and wants. Whenever I need changes from simple to more complex, they are ready to get it done and make great suggestions along the way. High marks for them indeed!

    After many months of trying to decide if I was ready to take the plunge into opening an online store I finally felt it was time to take my business the next level. Dan, Julie and Sandra at Profit Gate were all very instrumental in helping me make this decision. I had an existing website that was very lackluster, Julie redesigned my website and added a shopping cart feature that is just exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to everyone at Profit Gate!

    Thank you Profit Gate for helping us get our ecommerce site up and running. We had tried twice before to do it on our own without success. We needed a lot of help and Julie and Sandra really came through for us. We have always been a small, regional distributor, now we have the same exposure as the big guys and are selling our products all over the country.

    ProfitGate worked magic on our website! Dan and Julie covered all the bases, and even though we don’t talk tech, Julie walked us through everything, sometimes two or three times! We are so pleased with our website and have gotten rave reviews from clients and candidates. In the competitive world of Executive Search, you have to set yourself apart. We believe we accomplished some of that with a user friendly site that works proactively for our candidates. We love our website!
